米国政府の国連人口基金への分担金停止判断に疑問噴出

【ニューヨークIDN=J・ナストラニス】

国連のアントニオ・グテーレス事務総長は、国連人口基金(UNFPA)への資金拠出を停止するとした米国政府の決定に対して、「極めて残念」と深い遺憾の意を表明するとともに、ドナー諸国に対して、同基金が重要な任務を継続できるように支援を強化するよう要請した。

リベラル系カトリック団体「選択の自由を求めるカトリック教徒たち(CFC)」は、「国連人口・開発委員会第50回会期(4月3日~7日)と同じ週にこの決定を発表したことは、「国連が持続可能な開発のために家族計画の重要性を検討している中で、女性たちの顔を平手打ちするような(=侮辱する)ものだ。」と述べ、米国によるこの決定を強く批判した。

Sport as a Tool for Achieving SDGs

By Desmond Brown

GEORGETOWN, Guyana (IDN) – Investing in sport can help reduce spiralling health costs and promote education, social cohesion and gender equality, says a new guidebook published by The Commonwealth.

The recommendations of the guidebook, titled ‘Enhancing the Contribution of Sport to the Sustainable Development Goals’, are important to the Caribbean, where chronic and communicable diseases are devastating to individuals and community, threatening the quality of life and becoming an increasingly negative factor in the region’s development.

Guyana, for example, spends on average 4.6 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) on healthcare every year, equivalent to 200 dollars per capita. (P03) JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF

当美国捐款的大幅削减如一把“达摩克利斯之剑”悬在新联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯(António Guterres,)的头上之时,政府高官和民间社会代表强调了持久和平与可持续发展之间的“联系” ,敦促有必要提高纽约世界机构总部之外对于这种联系的认识。

“为实现可持续发展2030议程”第16个目标把焦点停留在“公正、和平及具有包容性的社会”并强调了那种本质性的关联,且不论联合国在2015年9月得到了所有加盟国家的认同后开始履行可持续发展目标(SDGs)已经过了一年,普通人对于外交方面的关心依然不足。

Drought Forcing Sri Lanka’s Tea Producers to Seek Greener Pastures

By Stella Paul

RATNAPURA, Sri Lanka (IDN) – The deafening sound of half a dozen rolling machines in the Rilhena tea factory feels like a hard punch on the head, but for factory workers Bihita Madura and Rajakaxmi Chandrakumar this is sweet music.

Their noise-belching, black dust-spewing machine symbolises what matters most: another day at work. “It’s a normal day for us,” says Madura, watching Chandrakumar feed a shovel of black tea leaves into the giant rolling machine. Both in their forties, Madura and Chandrakumar have good reason to be relieved: the Rilhena factory, owned by Khawatte Plantations of tea major Dilmah, is one of the country’s best performing tea producers.

U.S. Reasoning Behind Cutting Funds to UNFPA Challenged

By J Nastranis

NEW YORK (IDN) – Voicing “deep regret” at the United States decision to cut financial support to the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has appealed to donors to increase their support for the UN Population Agency to allow it to continue its critical work.

Strongly criticising the U.S. decision, Catholics for Choice said the announcement of the decision in the same week as the 50th session of the Commission on Population and Development (Aprll 3-7) is “a deliberate slap in the face of women as the UN considers the importance of family planning for sustainable development.” (P01) GERMAN | JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDFSPANISH
